ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE SERIAL(1952)


Welp, the reviews on IMDb.com are not great, so I go
into this with my doubts! However, having Spock himself
in this has got to give it at least a small bump in its
grade!

A band of thugs from Mars has a plan to set off an "H"
bomb on Earth to blow it out of its orbit so that Mars
can take over the orbit and thrive!! They get a couple of
dudes here on Earth to help them out through blackmail,
threatening to expose their dealings with unfriendly
nations!

Not sure where the title comes from, as I see no zombies
in this at all!

This utilizes the same jet pack used in the serials "King
Of The Rocket Men" & "Radar Men From The Moon"!

This is one of the better serials by Republic! A


From IMDb.com:

*Spoiler/plot- Zombies of the Stratosphere, 1952.
Martians land on Earth and work with outlaws to used
atomic methods to take control of the planet for
Mars. Govt agents fight to stop the takeover.

*Special Stars- Judd Holdren, Lane Bradford, Leonard
Nimoy

*Theme- The Martians always have a need to take over
Earth.

*Trivia/location/goofs- Early Leonard Nimoy camera
appearance acting as a Martian 'henchman'. Many outdoor
scenes shot at the Iverson Movie Ranch and rock formation
called 'Garden of the Gods'. There are 'colorized'
versions out in release. Not s enjoyable as original
'black and white'.

*Emotion- A enjoyable theatrical serial of the era with
it's campy-ness and corny drama intact. You still can
suspend your belief in this science fiction dramas. Well
worth your effort to see this saga and you'l get to see
what Spielberg and Lucas experienced while young that
would influence their filmmaking genius today. - oscar-35
